Panigale has made some improvements and updates to make it the perfect tracking tool.

Ducati's Panigale V4 is an explosive motorcycle in every respect, aiming to explore the highest level of performance it can provide. The 2022 version is ready to be faster on the track, at the same time more intuitive, and less demanding on the rider. In short, it promises to provide more beneficial experiences with less effort and risk.

One aspect of Ducati’s overhaul is aerodynamics. It took a step forward and adopted a new fairing, which we saw contained a set of double-wing wings and a smaller and trimmed profile than before. Nonetheless, The downforce on the ground has increased to 81 pounds of force at a speed of 186 mph.

Ducati also enhanced the engine's heat dissipation capacity through a new gill-shaped outlet. This improves the overall cooling system and thereby improves the linear development of power, even in very high ambient temperatures or harsh environments, such as long driving on a race track.

Ducati reviewed the same harsh motorcycle handle positions as the Panigale V4 to increase grip. In addition, the new fuel tank helps the rider feel better connected and integrated into the whole in straight sections and turning and acceleration methods.

Engine changes will affect the increase in power, thanks to the new lubrication circuit and pumps that are expected to reduce power loss. In addition, a new muffler with a larger diameter at the outlet can reduce exhaust back pressure.

Coupled with the new map programmed by Ducati, all of this reached no less than 215 horsepower at 13,000 rpm, an increase of 1.5 horsepower over the previous version. In addition, the torque is only 91.46 pound-feet of torque at 9,500 rpm, which provides 80% of the total torque at 6,000 rpm.

The transmission now offers longer shifts between first and third gears, although we should notice that the first gear is extended by 11.6% and the second gear is extended by 5.6%. The smaller jump between the first and second, together with the reprogramming of the DQS, allows for smoother and more gradual operation without eliminating the traction efficiency when the full throttle is opened at the sharpest exit. As for the sixth ratio, this has been lengthened by 1.8%, making its top speed 3.1 mph higher than the previous version.

As far as they are concerned, the power mode of Panigale V4 has also been fine-tuned. The Full and Low settings are brand new, the first setting completely released Ducati's anger, with almost no control except for the first gear. In contrast, the second one sets the potential engine obstacle to 150 horsepower, which is very suitable for driving on open roads by providing a sweet but powerful throttle response.

Due to the changes implemented in the Ride by Wire management map, the High and Medium modes present new dimensions, allowing you to take full advantage of the potential of V4.

You can enjoy more performance of Desmosedici Stradale by installing the complete Akrapovic racing exhaust line assembly, which is made of titanium and the sound limit is set to 105 dB (2 dB reduction when using a dB suppressor). Its design rises to the tail, the power has increased by 12.5 horsepower, and the maximum power is about 228 horsepower. Over time, the torque will remain at 96.62 pound-feet of torque, and the overall weight will be reduced by 11 pounds.

However, if you are still looking for higher performance, you can use a lighter "full racing" version, but yes, something more "shameful", like the previous one, made by Akrapovic.

In the cycle part, we found more reliable quality elements. Öhlins offers a new electronically controlled NPX 25/30 pressurized front fork, which minimizes the cavitation of oil in the front fork channel and provides better braking feel and use under maximum compression.

Compared with the previous version, the stroke has been reduced by 5 mm. It is now 125 mm. This in turn has changed the hardness of the spring from 10 before to 9.5 N/mm today. This will affect the general graduality, but it will also The impact momentarily is as radical as described in full braking.

By modifying the hardware and its components, we discovered in-depth work in adjusting the Ôhlins TTX36 shock absorber and the steering unit controlled by group actions (such as specific reactions when accelerating, braking or turning).

We continue to the rear, where the thin aluminum single-sided rocker arm is 4 mm higher than the previous "Pani" to reduce the drooping of the rear end under the craziest acceleration.

The electronic kit includes a 6-axis inertial platform that receives information about everything that happens on the ship and assigns it to 4 driving modes: A racing, B racing, sports, and street. All of this is shown in the new instrument, and an additional option called Track Evo is also available.

After selecting this screen, the tachometer and gears are more prominent, illuminating the available electronic control devices according to the intervention on one side of the screen (DTC, EBC, DWC and DSC). On the opposite left, we have a stopwatch, laps and taxi speed. The green LED warns of the need to change gears.

Panigale V4 has new graphics for Ducati Centro Stile. Therefore, we see that the black color of the fairing logo is always marked as "Ducati Red". We also got the dual-padded seats in two colors in the S version, in this version, there is a red label on the black wheels.

Panigale V4 and Panigale V4 S will not be available until January 2022 next year.
